Also by Gary Paulsen. For Rick Schrock, who knows the wind. I never found out his name, and in view of the effect he had on my life it is a shame, because I owe him a great deal.

I bought this book for my daughter to read, on her request. She had read another book by this same author and really enjoyed it. That book was called Hatchet. She didn't get into this book like she did the other. We ended up donating it to the school library.

A lively memoir for all ages/levels, and one of the most successful books I've found for ESL with adults, especially those who know something about sailing. What I didn't expect, though probably should have, was that because Paulsen's prose is so direct, and lyrical at just the right moments, it inspired enthusiastic writing from students who'd otherwise been reluctant to pen anything.

Goldcrusher

Paulsen's non-fiction rivals his outstanding fiction! All his books range from good to outstanding. I can't stop reading his work!

JoJoshura

Very short book by a great author about his own experience learning to sail. A copy should come with every sailboat.

Barinirm

Wonderful but not as much depth as the Hatchet Series or Winter Dance. To me, it seemed like a filler book without much meat. Still it was an enjoyable read from an author that has a true gift for writing. His words move like butter over warm toast.

What's not to like about a Gary Paulsen story, unless you wanted more length to the book! He is a fantastic writer that makes you feel like you're right there with him as he shares his extraordinary adventures.

As a sailor, I found it be an easy fun read. Some laugh out loud segments.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel.
